Navagrahas, ancient Indian astrology and origin of life

Ancient Indian astrology has always facinated me, The basic underlying principal of this ancient science being based on the movement of the nine planets (Celestial constellations) with refernce to the movement of 27 stars (Nakshatras). It goes on to say that these movements control a person's destiny, thoughts and deeds. The very fact that the first book on Indian astrolgy was written by a authour called pita maha in about 3,000 BCE itself is mind boggling! The concept that the movement of the nine planets and stars influences one's life leads me to think that maybe it was based on the concept that all of us are part and parcel of the universe.
This thought was reinforced by a program that I was watching early morning on Discovery channel about scientists who were trying to find the origin of life by tracking the life of stars and also by tracking the movements of gammas rays and nutrons in outter space. The programme went on to say that life originated in star nursuries where stars are born from gases and other particles which clump togather because the pressure is so great that there occurs nuclear fusion. Stars whose mass grow too big too fast burn out much faster than normal stars and their life spans are typically only one million years or so. As a result of the stars burning out or dying, the gases and particles collapse onto themselves and form a black hole during which two jets of gamma rays are released and the sprinkling of these all over the universe gives rise to what we call life in various forms. It happens to be a coincidence that these came togather in the correct proportions to form what we call the earth and life as we know it. Now the basic jist of the whole matter is that whatever you see around you, living and non living are all composed of the same star dust! In other words all of us are actually made of celestial and stellar particles! The two things at hand Indian astrology as well as our cutting edge science speaks the same thing! Now isn't that a wonder?
